ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential fuel
system parts such as carburetor, fuel hose,
or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads
to separation and formation of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
• Em pry the fuel tank by starting the engine
and letting it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuet tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuei stabilizer is an acceptable al-
ternative in minimizing the formation of fuel
gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer
to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
afteradding stabilizer to al[owthestabilizer to
reach the carburetor. Do not empty the gas
tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer,
ENGINE OIL

with clean engine oil (See "ENGINE" inthe
Maintenance section of this manual).
CYLINDER(S)

2. Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug
hole(s) into cylinder(s).
3. Turn ignition key to "START" position for
a few seconds to distribute oil.

OTHER
